What is momnesia? "the mental fuzziness and memory lapses that set in shortly after childbirth"

It was on TV. It must be true. PLUS, there is medical evidence. Proof that hormones really wack us out. This is great news. I have printed out the article on colored paper, laminated it, and taped it to my fridge. I also put it next to the bed. On the mirror by hubby's sink. In his car--passenger's side. In his underwear drawer . . .

I'm not an idiot. I'm not a drooling, stumbling moron. I'm not flighty or flaky for that matter. I'm not a space cadet. I'm not a scatterbrained ditz. I'm just a mom suffering from momnesia! Yeah!!!

Could have used that proof about 9 years ago when I thought I was losing my mind! I actually told my Dr. that my brain had turned to moosh especially with 2 kids 18 mos. apart!Now there's proof! Yay, we're not as crazy as we think!

i soooo have momnesia!! i've had it for the exact amount of years, months, weeks and days old my son is!! lol this is very true. i've forgotten so much and can't retain new info since having my children. it is really amazing how you just loose your mind and the things that were once in there. ;)see my post today, well there were two, but the last one says, not only have i lost my mind... but now i've lost the camera too. and really i have lost both. ;) aww well at least i know, sort of, well roughly where my children are today. lol just kidding, i know where they are at all times. this was a good post, it made me feel "normal" again. :)hugs, jenn

AND, did you hear it's supposed to make your brain better and make you even smarter in the process? That's what they said on the news! Finally, something good that happens to your body because of pregnancy, unlike stretch marks, saggy boobs, hair falling out,...sheesh!

I'm so thankful it now has a name. And guess what? It keeps getting worse. If I have another child, I'll not be able to do anything without a list. Brush teeth, check. Brush hair, check. Tie shoes, check. Eat lunch...oh wait, I'll never forget to eat:) Happy Friday!

I do that thing with the crazy-expensive engraving EVERY year. EVERY year I wait until Christmas ornaments are 90% off then wonder what the heck I was thinking when I pay a fortune for engraving. WTH is wrong with me?

I read your update. I think your check card belongs where I found mine,....in the garbage. HA! Just kidding. I hope y'all had a great time. I thought about you while I've been hearing about all the snow up there. I hope you enjoyed it. We never get enough snow to matter.

Hi, thanks for your post! Momnesia is crazy! I know someone has already commented on this, but I just want to reiterate it again: It's so nice to see that I am not the only crazy one out here having stupid moments!

This weekend was a true testament to my momnesia . . . no doubt! Thank goodness my condition has a name. That's all I can say. I must've said, "But I've got momnesia," about a dozen times or more . . .
